Hello everyone.

My name is Alan and I live in beautiful Carmarthenshire.

I recognise a few names here so I'm sure some of you will know me from other forums under my alias 'snowman_al'.

I've been into electronics since I was at school many years ago and was building 6V6 amps and repairing valve radios before high school... so more into the DIY and restoration things.

Current project is a re-configuration of what was a very sad Audio Innovations series 500. It joins a few venerable valve amps, Stereo 20, STA 15 III and an old Beam Echo etc.

I'm not averse to transistors. I've had a Naim phase, still have a NAP110 and NAC42, but they are mostly kept in storage. My favourites are the Nytech and Ion amps.

For 'front ends' I have a couple of Rega P3s, one with a Nagaoka, one with an AT. Also a couple of Squeezeboxes. And for speakers I have a pair of Dynaco A25s and a pair of ES11s.

Musical taste is wide. Eagles to Elgar, REM to Rachmaninoff much depends on the time of day and my mood...

That's me so I will try and add to some of the threads I know a little about.
Alan
